Day 2 Recap: did NOT like the chia pudding for breakfast. The lunch salad was amazing. However, if I make it again, I would put slightly less dressing on the finished product... Dinner was alright. It was the first time I've had ground turkey meat. The spaghetti squash was ~~nothing like delicious pasta~~ pretty good with the parmesan sprinkled over it. And somehow I missed getting swiss chard at the grocery store, so I didn't end up with any greens on my dinner plate...

Lunch time salad

Here are a few things I'm noticing while on this 14 day challenge...

Prep EVERYTHING for the next day the night before. And then even look at the needs of two days out to make sure you know what's coming up
It is far easier to do this plan on nights that I don't have class. Yesterday I brought some left overs from dinner with my mom to school with me, then made the challenge dinner when I got home
Try everything, but don't make yourself eat it if you don't like it. Case in point: chia pudding. While it looks pretty, I just can't do the texture of it. There's another breakfast coming up that is another chia pudding recipe that I'm planning on substituting with gluten free oat meal
I mainly miss coffee not for the caffeine (thankfully no headaches), but mostly for the morning ritual of hearing it brew, mixing it in with my vanilla creamer, and taking that first sip of the day

I felt really proud of myself for making the frittata for breakfast this morning. It looked like it would require far more work and time than it did. But it was really simple, and convenient enough to make before work. Plus, it combines two of my favorite foods: eggs and broccoli.

I ate a quarter of the frittata this am, then another quarter for a morning snack. I ate the apple and almonds (plus a cutie tangerine) around lunch time, and am planning on eating the chicken and veggies closer to 2pm or 3pm in hopes that it'll hold me over until I get home from school tonight at 8pm...Wish me luck
